New: Crosshair-Only HUD (Portal option)

  • Full immersion - no numbers in the way

  • Cleaner screenshots of the Alien Grounds

  • HUD color option is planned next

Weapon feel updates

  • Updated recoil for Automatic Rifle and Pistol

    • Better match for the current game pace

    • More precise aiming and control

  • Increased firing speed for the Automatic Rifle for stronger crowd control

Crosshair

  • Smaller default crosshair

  • More crosshair presets are coming soon in Portal

FX + performance

  • Fixed Automatic Rifle muzzle flash detaching from the muzzle (less realistic, but more readable and common in shooters)

  • Firing procedure optimizations for even better performance

If anything feels off after the recoil + fire rate changes, tell me what weapon, mission, and input method you use (mouse or controller) and I will tune it.
